I carry in a Remora holster.. Normally at the 2:00 position... When I get into the truck I move it to my 11:00 position (crossdraw). It's comfortable and easy to draw. The seatbelt does not impede access at all. In deployment drills I have no problem getting on target very quickly.

There is another thread about Remora holsters and my experience with the NO BELT Remora is that I can adjust the holster while I am in the car for ease of draw and can readjust when I am ready to leave car. I happen to have found the Remora as a perfect holster for my lifestyle and clothing preference with the added advantage of adjustable placement when seated and driving in my car.

I have noticed how difficult drawing in a vehicle can be. I have a dedicated car holster under the steering wheel. I just move the gun to it when I get in the car from my carry holster. Here is a good video on drawing in a vehicle.

As a lefty, it is not really much of a problem drawing from the 8:00 position while seated. I do have to lean toward the passenger side to clear the door and sudden movements like that can be restricted if the seatbelt locks up. Getting better with practice but I sure hope I never have to do that for real.

I've experienced the exact scenario the OP describes. Making my rounds which included the PO (we get no home delivery) and needed to unholster my M&P 9c from my supertuck IWB. Very difficult and awkward. I didn't want to get out of the truck and stand up to do it, and frankly it didn't feel safe. Further after coming back to the truck, re-holstering was even more difficult. I may have to change the cant in the holster, but not a good experience.
